#FRIDAY’S SPIRITUAL NUGGETS# IT’S NOT TIME; IS IT?

What are the issues we have to face when the membranes of our dreams are prematurely ruptured?

Ecclesiastes 3:1
There's an opportune time to do things, a right time for everything on the earth:
Very often, we are eager to display our gifts, our talents and the dreams inherent in us.
In the process, it is indeed possible to ignorantly or over-zealously do things that would culminate in the premature births of our hearts’ progeny. Unfortunately, prematurity is indeed one of the greatest contributors to the mortality accrued to both fetuses and goals.
When it ain’t time, one of these might just hasten the death of one’s dreams:
1    1.    FORCE:
“A right time to wage war and another to make peace.” (Eccl 3:8b)
Many times, we think if we’re forceful enough, our dreams will come to pass. But have we considered our environment, the timing?
Sometimes, it’s not force that would bring us to the limelight in our chosen paths, patience might just be needed to mature us. And if we proceed to use traumatic methods, we just might prematurely puncture the egos of our dreams.

2    2.    UNPREPAREDNESS:
 “A right time to plant and another to reap,” (Eccl 3:2b)
While some use force, some of us would rather sit still and wait in belated hope. A weak, unprepared cervix is a good predictor of premature birth; so is an unprepared mind.
The unprepared individual has forgotten that it isn’t all who have had dreams that have birthed something that had breath; thus he just might join the company of those who birth un-living things!

3    3.    WRONG CONTENT:
“A right time to destroy and another to construct,” (Eccl 3:3b)
When the abdomen of a pregnant woman is distended with mostly amniotic fluid and less of a fetus, it seems like an overwhelming burden to bear- giving the wrong impression that the due date of delivery is near.
Any wonder that there’s spillage of some fluid?
It’s not just about the design of your concept, it’s about the content.
Fab designs might fetch us jobs, but it is only content that can keep us in place and always relevant.

So while we are at it, be it watering our dreams or even dreaming up more dreams, let’s pay cognizance- even if it’s a little- to the timing @ which we launch our ‘products’ into the grand market of life. Timing, is everything!

What are your thoughts on timing as regards dream-launching?

#MONDAY’S PROSE THIS CHILD; ON THE ROAD

Through my myopic eyes, a fleeting image of a little boy is formed on my retina A little boy in a little suit, Treading the familiar bushy routes before him The boy had neither escort nor directives And surely, he needed none For a 4 yr old on the road possesses more maturity than a 10 year old in ‘comfort’ Swiftly, she navigated through cars held in traffic An adventurous smile tugging at her split lips Providing snacks for impatient car-owners And though panting from car-chasing, She had a visible life of passionate content She probably planned to get off the street, Forsake her hypothetical ‘street-urchin boyfriend’, Give up this demeaning way of living, But I feared she wouldn’t! She hadn’t been wired to get off the street And sadly, she was too content to stage a forced exit. Children on the road and teenagers of the road, Not choosing to be this vulnerable Yet hooded and shrouded in the cold, Filled with shreds of hope that the fut...

#POETRY# MOMENTS

So, it’s another Monday. Today’s poem is on moments, appreciating them and taking second looks at the seemingly mundane. Enjoy! MOMENTS You never know, you just never know There he was last night, holding your hands, Looking into your eyes with passion beyond expression, And then; here he was this morning, telling a sad tale of never! Who knew love could become so tasteless overnight? It had seemed over in less than a flash; So much for the deep love you shared. Where it all ends, you just never know! Memories of baby’s not so far away childhood, Flickered before her eyes like a dimly lit flame Was it not just last summer she had started crawling? And in what appeared to be less than 24hours, She had walked, jumped and taken sandwiches to school And now, she fit smugly into a graduation gown, cape and all, Her baby was now a grown woman And those memories were all she had left! He stroked her tapered fingers lovingly as he wept by her beds...

GOD; will you help?

Isa 66:9 Do I open the womb and not deliver the baby? Picture this: A woman is wheeled into the operating theatre (if you haven’t been in one before, you must have seen one in movies). She has been informed that a caesarian section would be performed on her, for which she has given written consent. And so the obstetrician is poised for surgery. Subsequently, he makes an incision on her abdomen. Cuts through layers of skin, fat, fascia and muscles. Finally, he locates and opens up the uterus. Pause. He says he cannot go on. He is tired of the surgery.  Just too tired to go on. He wants to rest. He removes his gloves and gown, walks out of the suite with the woman still on the table, a breached uterus with a nearly non-viable child, whose rapidly declining heart rate screams in horror, still within. Does this make even the minutest amount of sense? I hope not. Because it doesn’t. Isa 66:9 Do I open the womb and not deliver the baby? Sometimes,...
